Comments:
I was working on the Boogie Woogie in E when these lyrics started coming to me. I got the first verse right away and then the first lines fell into place and the joke at the end. It was the next morning before I completed the lyrics and made my arrangement. Then I made the video. In front of my 49 GMC pickup on a hazy morning. Great light and the audio's good in spite of background noises. You just have to get really close to your mics.
I was impressed with the 1070d omni on my vocals. I sang right into the recording mic like it was a PA except with no sound.
Lyrics:
Guitar Blues
copyright by Larry Heyl 2007
I got them guitar blues they just won't let me be.
I got them guitar blues they just won't let me be.
When I wake up in the morning my guitars calling out to me.
I play my guitar morning, noon, and night.
I play my guitar morning, noon, and night.
From the dark of the moon to the early morning light.
I got the guitar boogie coursin' through my veins.
I got the guitar boogie coursin' through my veins.
My feet are a jumpin' and I'm calling out your name.
(Let's Dance!)
break
I got them guitar blues they just won't let me be.
I got them guitar blues they just won't let me be.
When I go to sleep at night my guitar's laying next to me.
(Now that boy's got it bad)
